Good food , good staff . Good vibe �
Best korean ever. Hands down
Fantastic food, cool staff we had a great time thanks Pocha
The almond fried chicken looks and sounds better than it tastes. It's not bad, just not as flavourful as I expected. Other options probably have more flavour. However, the staff are wonderful and they kept insisting on NZ info hababa
Also, it's overall kinda expensive. Not much cheap solo options. It's more for large groups that wanna share plates.

I recently dined at the Korean restaurant, Pocha, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. The food was absolutely delicious, offering a wide range of authentic Korean dishes that truly satisfied my taste buds. The flavors were rich and authentic, showcasing the depth of Korean cuisine.
What impressed me equally was the impeccable customer service. The staff at Pocha were attentive and friendly, ensuring that every aspect of our dining experience was top-notch. They were knowledgeable about the menu and even provided recommendations based on our preferences.
The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal. From the moment I entered to the moment I left, I felt welcomed and valued as a guest.
In conclusion, Pocha is a gem of a Korean restaurant that not only serves excellent food but also provides outstanding customer service. It's a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic and delightful Korean dining experience.
I'm a big Korean BBQ lover so it was a sign from Big Man G to tell my Usos to surprise me with dinner here. Absolutely beautiful food. Big fat beautiful portions at a reasonable price. Great service and chill atmosphere x highly recommend 😍
Food and drink were awesome! The almond chicken was definitely my favourite. The crispiness and nutty taste were perfect. 💕
We came from Australia for family holiday and we had dinner after Hobbiton tour and it was a rainy/cold day. We ordered honey butter fries, ugly cheese ball, grilled pork belly and popcorn chicken. The food was good, quick service and despite sitting outside it wasn’t too cold. I had a lovely chat with Song when paying our bill. He’s used to live at Hornsby (Sydney). Thank you so much for lovely food, service and chat. It warmed our heart in rainy and cold day after such tiring trip of Matamata.
Some of the best most well known Korean fried chicken in Auckland. Great outdoor seating. Can't recommend enough.
Pocha is the go to spot! Definitely a great spot thats pumping in the evenings. not only do the provide good vibes they also provide really good food. Yes dishes can be a tad pricey but it was all worth it. I had Yukhue there for the first time and can definitely say its blew my mind. too bad all the chicken was sold out on the night but i will 100% be back.
We had an unforgettable experience last night with ?owner/manager. At first, we were disappointed when we realised that they didn't pack the main sauce for crunchy chicken, on the way home (we were already on highway). I called him to prepare it so that we can quickly pick it up. We were very impressed with how the owner reacted and handled his mistake - very apologetic and willing to come meet us for the single sauce!!
It was not a complimentary drink and food, but his attitude that made us feel respected. We sincerely appreciate your courtesy and kindness. If we visit Auckland next time, we will sit and enjoy more Korean cuisine:)
The almond crunchy chicken with Jalapeño mayo sauce and corn cheese were excellent as well!! Would recommend to all my friends!
Pocha is known to be one of the most Iconic Korean restaurant in Auckland CBD and for good reason. Recommend this spot if you are coming with a large group of friends and are craving Korean food. I tried a bunch of dishes from here and everything was pretty solid.
Ordered items:
- Almond krunch fried chicken
- Corn krunch fried chicken
- Soy chilli fried chicken
- beef brisket soybean stew 👍 8/10
- spicy rice cakes 👍8.5/10
- beef tartare
Beef brisket soybean stew:
Super flavourful broth, flavour profile is umami and like creamy. Loved the meats and vegetables that were in the broth. All worked really well together. It's just really comforting to eat.
Spicy rice cakes:
Loved everything about this dish. The dish had some ramen noodles, cabbage, carrots, fish cakes, stretchy cheese and nice chewy tteokbokki. But the star of the dish was the sauce. The sauce itself was not really spicy. However, it was creamy, sweet and savoury. Honestly, the sauce was drinkably good.
Big menu literally. Great food and atmosphere. Price looks high but they are big servings meant for 2-3 people so definitely I would consider them reasonably priced. Very popular price to dine in the city. The only thing I dislike is smoking is allowed outside? Unfortunately my eating pleasure was affected by a bunch of young smokers sitting close to us.
Delicious food, reasonable price, cheaper if eat with group. Big portion. Almost always crowded, better to make a reservation. The service could be better though - smiling more?
My go to Korean drinking & fried chicken place. Fried chicken is awesome, however other dishes could do some work - very pricey with an average taste. General vibe and atmosphere is great for drinking. Well trained and attentive service is also a bonus.
We got the sweet and sour chicken dish here for take away and it was MASSIVE! It says it feeds two but it could easily feed four. It was so good we ate it cold for breakfast on our way back to Tauranga the next day!
Very happy to see the restaurant to survive through COVID. Generous portions, especially delicious dishes, especially the Almond Krunch. Can’t wait to go back again!
5/5⭐️, the best Korean fried chicken in Auckland, hands down! Also a fan of the combination fried rice. Service is quick and food is served nice and hot. You will not be disappointed with any dish you order.
If you are craving for Korean food, look no further because Pocha is simply one of the best! Such a delight tasting one of their signature dish Almond Krunch chicken which you can enjoy on its own, or with the dipping sauce, or with salad on the side. The Ramdon which is a noodle with vege & boneless beef ribs inspired from the movie "Parasite"-- is slurp-worthy because the sauce is flavourful and beef so tender. The The Honey butter chips was a treat. The Yukhoe' (beef tartare) is to die for (garlicky, nutty, little sweetness because of the apple slices, and meaty!). All in all, the food are delicious!
The cleanliness is great too, the vibe is awesome, and the staff are friendly.
So what are you waiting for?
Next time you are going to town for a drink, or just want to enjoy a great meal with some treats, Pocha is no doubt the place to be! ❤💯⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
